  John CampbellJul 30, 2025
  If your Poulan Pro Trimmer engine won't start, make sure the ON/OFF switch is in the ON position. Other possible causes include a flooded engine (refer to “Starting a Flooded Engine” in the Operation Section), an empty fuel tank (fill it with the correct fuel mixture), a faulty spark plug (install a new one), or fuel not reaching the carburetor (check for a dirty fuel filter and replace it, or inspect the fuel line for kinks or splits and repair or replace it). If none of these steps work, the carburetor may require adjustment, and you should contact an authorized service dealer.

  If your Poulan Pro Trimmer engine will not idle properly, it could be due to several reasons. The carburetor might need adjustment (refer to “Carburetor Adjustment” in the Service and Adjustments Section). Alternatively, the crankshaft seals may be worn, or the compression could be low. For these issues, it's best to contact an authorized service dealer.

  Chelsea LoweryAug 10, 2025
  If your Poulan Pro Trimmer engine lacks power, won't accelerate, or dies under load, it might be due to a dirty air filter (clean or replace it) or a fouled spark plug (clean, replace, and regap it). In some cases, the carburetor may require adjustment, or there could be carbon build-up on the muffler outlet screen. For these issues, or if the compression is low, contact an authorized service dealer.

  Laurie PonceAug 17, 2025
  If your Poulan Pro Trimmer engine is smoking excessively, it could be due to an incorrect fuel mixture. In this case, empty the fuel tank and refill it with the correct fuel mixture. Another cause might be a dirty air filter, so try cleaning or replacing it. If the problem persists, the carburetor may require adjustment, and you should contact an authorized service dealer.

  Loretta ValdezAug 22, 2025
  If your Poulan Pro Trimmer engine is running hot, ensure you are using the correct fuel mixture, referring to “Fueling Engine” in the Operation section. Also, check that you have the correct spark plug installed and replace it if necessary. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the carburetor may require adjustment, or there could be carbon build-up on the muffler outlet screen. For these issues, you should contact an authorized service dealer.
